About me

Working across documentary and fiction, Gabriel Orentas is drawn to films that trust what is not immediately explained. Ambiguity, restraint, and atmosphere are not stylistic choices, but essential elements of meaning. The score, in this context, does not lead. It inhabits.

Orentas’ musical language is contemporary, often minimal, attentive to space and fracture. Silence is not treated as void, but as material. What emerges is a presence that moves beneath the surface of the film. Sometimes imperceptible, sometimes disquieting, but always intentional.

Orentas collaborates closely with directors, ideally from early stages of the production, allowing sound to evolve alongside the film’s identity. This process resists separation between image and music; instead, it forms a single, interdependent structure.
